Something that would be useful for at least IndexedDB is to at least
find out that an exception has been thrown by some event handler.
Similar to how you can find out if an event handler has called
preventDefault(). If an exception has been thrown by a handler we can
expect that the event wasn't properly handled and can take action
based on that information.
